I’d quite like something from the nineties when the market drops so look in every now and again on various sites and it is funny seeing some of the prices on some cars.

With the ohv Kent engine.
The Finesse, they don't come much more basic.
Good cars for their time but way overpriced.

Original fitment so I figure that's the point.

The listing has ended now, so eBay is suggesting other 9-3's for sale. There's quite a selection, all in better condition and a much more attractive buy than this one, all of them below £2500. Mental how chappy even thought his was worth £14k!
The seller appears to have a few board games for sale too on eBay: a snip at £22,000 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114921559493?hash=item1...

I wonder what he ended up accepting for the Saab? smile
Must have taken about a week to write the description of those game(s). The postage on them is an amazing £420 !!

I keep my eye on the CLK market and https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202206156... stands out.

The same year car, with the same 5.5 V8 engine & Sport spec, but 92k miles went privately via Autotrader last week for £4,800. The V8's have softened this year...well, some have.

15 main dealer stamps in the book. Surely that should be taken into consideration and price lowered..

I saw that last night and it annoyed me so much I nearly messaged him about it. I've only ever seen base spec cars advertised as "FULLY LOADED TOP SPEC ALL THE TOYS"

Agree, total liar. A 14 year old car with 40k miles will never look like new, very far from it.
The whole car will look just like any other with that age and mileage ie used NOT new.
That's not even worth half the asking price...

To be fair I don't think the price is that bad it was more the incredible low mileage compared to the other post, just makes you think were they find these cars..? They also have a 20 year old One owner Z3 done 33,000 miles... !

Try searching Autotrader with a silly low mileage filter on. You'd be surprised what turns up. I missed an E24 BMW M5, one of the last 50 that came into the country, that only had 4000 miles 10 years after it was sold. Turned out the purchaser had suffered an illness shortly after buying it, and when he eventually passed away, it was returned to the dealer it was bought from, who sold it for the guy's widow free of charge for her. She got the full sale price.

£16k for a 21 year old 330d is "not overpriced"?
